1950 Map of Lake Combie

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Lake Combie serves as the central focal point of this 1950 survey, where the Bear River crosses the boundary between Nevada and Placer Counties. The landscape is a mosaic of small rural settlements and industrial remnants, notably the Stockton Hill Mine and the Limekiln School. A unique historical layer is preserved through the marking of the Probable Route of Donner Party, which winds through the hills north of Wolf Creek. Infrastructure of the era is well-documented, from the Van Giesen Dam and its associated diversion structures to river crossings like the Dog Bar Bridge and Gautier Bridge. Small communities like Higgins Corner, Meadow Vista, and Cherry Creek Acres provide a look at the mid-century residential footprint near the water's edge, while various named landmarks like Buck Mountain and McCarty Flat define the surrounding topography.
